thank you so much. You are really caring. You know, looking back, I have struggeled with depression my whole life. I was bit when I was 6 and just got diagnosed last year, I am now 34. I think my mind was literally frying from the Lyme. I remember being so young and just filled with rage, lyme rage I now know. Chrinic FAtige was and is a huge symptom of mine. It literally affected every relationship I had. People always mad at me becuase I would not follow through. I was always in bed. So, yes I have a thick history of depression. I am now sure why---the LYME or my crazy mom!!! I am currently taking Cymbalta. My doage was lowered because my Liver was really messed up. It really does help with my neuropathy also.---- I swing in and out of depression. But lately I just feel so bad that it is really getting to me. I want to have a baby sometime but I am coming to the realiztion that it may not be the best thing. I couldnt carry the baby right now anyway with the condition of my arms and shoulders. It just keeps going on and on. I have had it so long that I am shocked that more is not wrong with me. Or maybe more is but I am just use to it. I have trouble distingushing what is painful and what is not. I beleve my tolerance level is different from someone who remembers being well. Know what I mean? anyway, I will carry on. It just felt really good to tell someone else. thank you for talking to me, amey
